Gold Crown III Frame

Things flex. I didn't shim to make it flat, I shimmed to ensure it doesn't sag or flex.

Take a day off, not being a dick once in a while would serve you well.

Well then, here's another dick move for you buddy! Take a look at the side pockets on your table, vs the side pockets of your rails! They don't line up because the rail bolt holes are not on center where they're suppose to be, on both sides of the table! But, you probably already knew that right, and re-drilled them before you finished assembling the table, right?

But then again, they might line up perfect because you have the only GC1 slate Brunswick drilled out right!😅

Just like everyone else. You see a slate screw hole, so you screw in a slate screw. And because you've leveled million dollar machinery, that makes you an expert at leveling a pool table slate, right?

Yup.

But I also know that when you put a screw in you recheck level and make sure that the screw isn't inducing stress.

I don't know what you are on about, but you are showing your ass. Your fanboys enjoy it, you enjoy it, but I'm done with it.

I guarantee you the rail bolt holes are off on the Anniversary and Centennial slates too, even after being so called restored, because no one pays attention to that part of the table. Its when people claim to do such great work that I can come along and point out, no, you don't! But I can help you do better work if you'll listen to me!!!

Then you have those that you can't show them anything, because they're already an expert from other work back grounds, so they already know everything! So if I question them about that, then they're like, how dare you question my skills!!!! I KNOW WHAT I'm doing!

as you can see in these pictures, there's a scribed line going through the bolt holes that represent the center of the rail bolt in relation to where it fits inside of the drilled out rail bolt hole, clearly you can see the rails can't be moved enough to center up the rIls on the side pockets!

I have no doubt you did a nice job @DeeDeeCues !!!

As I am pondering setting up my GC III finally I was wondering, would it make sense to improve the center frame supports. Rather than running the solid supports across the width of the table, what if you ran a support (like a piece of LVL) the long way, and then ran shorter cross members across the width. Am I just over engineering, or would there be an advantage? I notice that the Diamond tables use a long very stout looking center beam.

Keep us updated! Hope all goes smooth!

Let me tell you a little story. In my hometown, when I was going to college, a mechanic convinced the council to get rid of fourteen anniversary and centennial tables.

Reason? The feather strips wouldn't holds the cloth. That was the reality here twenty years ago. I told the council that I could fix the feather strip issue. They bought new gc's.

So, tell me, was I supposed to rely on any mechanic I could get around here?

I can give you a few good reasons why featherstrips don't fit as tight anymore, and one of those reasons there's a bigger problem with the rails than first thought!

Can you tell me some of the reasons the featherstrips might not fit tight anymore?

Or did those problems go right over your head when you said you could just have fixed the featherstrips?
